£50 million puts a person in the top 0.1% in the US. Someone with $15 million net worth is already a 1 percenter in the US and world wide probably a $1 million in net worth puts you in the 1% of the world
Still depends on the city though. Like in a city like LA where a lot of people drive in their little SUV safe space many have that suburbanite mindset even if they live right in the middle of the city.
It’s like that joke. In Los Angeles, your car is on the side of the road with a flat tire. People slow down, roll down their windows, and say: “Oh my God, that’s terrible! Are you okay? I’m so sorry this happened to you!” and then they drive off.
In New York, your car is on the side of the road with a flat tire. Someone yells: “What, are you an idiot? You can’t park here!” and then they get out of the car and help you change the tire.
The Jedi are based on the Samurai who put honor above all else. Samurai are basically extremists, who will follow their code into death. Like they rather kill themselves than lose face. So yeah the Jedi being extremist ideologues is just Lucas copying Kurosawa's homework. I'm not even sure if Lucas intentionally wrote the Jedi like that or the deeper subtext is by accident.
Doubt she will ever set foot in the ICC, unless the next president will hand her over personally. Like the US president has the power to use all means necessary to free US service members when they are detained on behalf of the ICC. Meaning the US president can invade the Netherlands without the need for Congressional approval.
Sure IQ has been misused a lot but IQ can still be used to estimate the demographic distribution of a population on one axis. Since it’s sort of normally distributed. Like BMI it should not be applied to individuals. It just shows how many people of a population deviate from the mean. And yes it’s not IQ alone, but still telling that those numbers are close.
But they aren’t wrong either. Some places with these type of buildings have been build wrong. Like in the Netherlands in the 60’s they build an entire new neighborhood that had only these mega modernists apartment buildings that followed Le Corbusier futuristic vision. And nobody wanted to live there, because other neighborhoods with history were much more pleasant to live in. So eventually only the poor and desperate moved into the neighborhood. And the neighborhood turned into a rundown ghetto. Today almost every one of those 1960’s apartment buildings in that neighborhood has been torn down. Was much cheaper to rebuild from the ground up than to renovate. Same is true in many suburbs of Paris.
Yep like how North Face replaced photos of many pages with photos that had people wearing their products in it. And this is probably just the tip of the iceberg, there must be plenty of stuff that hasn’t been caught yet.
Nintendo also had some risqué ads especially for the GameBoy
